4 star hotels in Istanbul

We stayed in this hotel for three nights in June. Hotel is located in the very center of old town, touristic area, 25 minutes walk from Aya Sofya, Blue Mosque, Topkapy and Grand Bazar. There is also a beautiful park with Shechzade Mosque in 5 min walk, so in case you stay there, you will be able to see everything not using taxi or public transport. What impressed me most is the fantastic view from...

Bathroom smelled sewage, the shower didnt drain the water and overflow to the rest of the bathroom. The room was very nice and the bathtub was pretty good for a long bath. Some staff where pretty cheerful others not so much

This hotel was honestly fantastic! The staff were even better - massive thanks to Feride at customer relations who went over and beyond to ensure the stay was perfect. The reception staff were also very very good. There is a little noise due to the location but we went to the restaurant where it was and it was also lovely. The location was also brilliant 15 mins walk to the grand bazaar, 5 minutes...

Amazing hotel! One of my favourite hotels to stay in all of Istanbul! The staff are superb! The guest relations manager was fantastic and offered us tea and she was great! We will definitely be staying again! I have another trip to Istanbul planned for February and will definitely look at Hotel Zurich for my stay.

I am very satisfied of the hotel. The room was perfect, very cosy with comfortable bed. It's very clean and everyone working there is very professional. I liked the guy playing piano while eating breakfast. I enjoyed eating at the restaurant downstairs and also spending evenings at the rooftop lounge. The location was great as well, very close to everything needed. I highly recommand. It took me weeks...

Room: A bit disappointed, the room temperature was melting hot and the room smells musty and the air conditioner isn’t working. It was very hard to sleep in these conditions. Service: luckily the staff members were very nice, and made the difference during this journey. I specially recommend their spa/turkish bath.

I had an overnight connection and with my unsatisfactory experience at kepler, I decided to try this hotel. The wifi was great, worked just fine, the service was good even though lines form at check in. I ordered room service, which was very quick and adequately priced. The room was very clean and the furniture was new. I felt very safe as a young woman traveling alone.

Spent one night here to simplify catching my early flight without having to wake up too early after a hard day. Even though the price was a bit high I must say that I was happily surprised about the overall quality of this hotel. It was peaceful and silent, even room air conditioning was possible to close for perfect silence. The bed in the spacious room was a real double bed and I slept so well. I...

Drink prices are very very expensive. Not everyone take their wage from dollars or euros. Pillows are too big. Staff good. The reception doesnt take our request seriously , but the woman in responsible about rooms are very helpful. He said(reception) ve dont have any 3 bedroom rooms but they have many...

Very close to the airport. Walking distance ca. 2 mins. Fair prices and clean. Good for a layover at night

Great place to stay if you have long flights. The room was perfectly clean. A baby bed was provided. Breakfast was excellent, it starts from 4:30am. At the bar, I found the prices to be quite overpriced. A 0,33 bottle of Corona will cost you 10 euros.

Great service and amazing rooms. Very useful for when you have an early flight since its walking distance from the airport. You can walk there in 5 mins or less

Fantastic location - 3 minutes by foot from the airport and the metro station is also nearby Great timing for the transfer guests - the breakfast starts at 4am! The choice is rich, especially fruits and vegetables. The fresh honey dropping off the honeycomb is impressive. To my local taste preference porridge was missing but it's not a big deal Comfortable, clean, silent room - perfect for the rest...

Make sure the taxi takes you to the doors of the hotel. Even though it’s the next building to the terminal, you just can’t walk there and have to wait for the transfer which isn’t regular nor comfortable.

It was a great experience when I stayed at this hotel; Beautiful in terms of service, strategic location, and staff, and I especially mention Brother Muhammad Ali. He was a wonderful example of a professional employee in his work with his kind treatment, hospitality, and assistance to us. The staff were truly wonderful. This will not be the last visit, thank you. Greetings to you, my family and my...

Extra effort on cleaning during Covid times, very kind and considerate staff. Comfy rooms. Always a great option in the city center

Great location in the Levent business district with easy connection pretty much everywhere in Istanbul. It's got mini all you need! Great value/money rate!

number one

Nice hotel

Not for families on vacation. You have to pay more to get a connected room and they didn't state that before booking.

It was a great and very nice experience, all the workers there were nice and smiling, I will try there again, it is really worth it. Miss Fatima and John and all of them, I forgot some names, they are all great.

I visited your hotel branch in Dubai, and it was a wonderful experience. However, in Turkey, it was the best experience ever, where the beauty of the place and complete comfort stood out. I also received a warm welcome and assistance from the entire hotel staff, especially (Fatima). She was very kind to me and helped me a lot. I hope she reads my review.

It's really very good hotel and she is a very kind, respectful, and helpful customer service. You really deserve more than 5 star but I am gonna give you 5 stars. Wish you a good life which is full of love, peace and happiness.

I must say that after reading other reviews I was afraid of staying there -my husband attended a conference and the room was booked by the organizers- and I was ready to pay my own hotel. Nevertheless, they put us in a so called “suite” and it was acceptable. Opposite of what other reviewers said, there was AC, actually two, one in the living room and a second one in the room. It was not cleaned...

I highly recommend Ramada Alibeykoy hotel. All the members of the staff were very friendly , kind and nice with my wife and I. The location is perfect! The metro and Tramway is right across the street from the hotel. Everything was very convenient.All major tourist points are close by or is very easy to get the public transportations to get to those places. If you want a good place to be relaxing or...

What a great stay! Staff was so friendly, and we had great omelette breakfast that was prepared by Sonya she made sure that we have a good breakfast. Thank you :)

AJWA is newly constructed 5 star hotel in historic District of Istanbul, Sultanahmet. Building is awesomely standing on a hill and surrounded by ramped pathways, attracts passerby to it’s beautiful exterior and tall structures beside small houses and hotels.

They care about every single detail, from the moment you step into the building till the moment they say good bye to you, highly recommended. I love their service and speed of service along with their experience and their beds. You dont need to ask for something twice here as they will get it for you fast and in numbers so you dont have to ask again. If you are a father or newly married travelling...

I’ve been to Istanbul twice and stayed at different hotels but this 5 star hotel is amazing. The staff is friendly, rooms are excellent and the restaurant has delicious food. It’s located within walking distance from Grand Bazaar and other shopping areas. I highly recommend this hotel.

Exceptional hotel. Everything has been absolutely great so far from the check in experience to rooms, to concierge. Very welcoming and caring staff, very helpful concierge with info readily available. Our room was very clean and we absolutely loved all the little details.

Pro: Very helpful front desk/concierge. Hotel was clean with unique furniture. Breakfast was good with an amazing view from the restaurant. Toiletries, slippers, etc in the rooms were very nice. Room/restroom were very nice. It was one of the few hotels we stay at in Istanbul that did not smell of cigarette smoke. Con: Location was ok. It's a walk uphill to the tourist section of Sultan Mehmet. Gym...

I'm currently at the hotel. Unfortunately, we will soon be leaving this wonderful place. Close to attractions. There are many cafes nearby, including McDonald's and Starbucks. But you can go there at home, it’s better to visit the local ones. I also recommend the hotel restaurant. Breakfast is a buffet, everything is very tasty and there is a lot of choice. I advise you to try not only breakfast...

Breakfast could be better. Internet signal depends on the weather ( Wifi was not available during a rain)

I had a wonderful stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities I needed. The location was convenient and close to many attractions. I especially want to thank Muhammad, the receptionist. He was very friendly and helpful. He made check-in smooth, and his warm welcome made my stay even better. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. I will definitely come back

We spent a week in Occidental Taksim recently & experienced great comfort & hospitality from the Hotel crew. They were so cooperative & supportive in all aspects & offered valuable service to us. Rooms were clean & location is very accessible to most of historical & commercial landmarks. With special thanks to one of the crew Mr Mohammad we spent a pleasant time on this trip.

I am a returning customer and can only keep recommending this hotel. Each time I come over, I keep experiencing a very extraordinary service. Staff and receptionists are super helpful. The porter; Ismail, was very polite, helpful, and welcoming. Cannot thank him enough. Thank you Occidental for the great stay!

Overall, the staff is super friendly and kind. The checkin and checkout processes are smooth, and the rooms are very clean and spacious. The only defect is the lighting in the room. It was very dimmed which made it difficult to apply makeup and get ready. We asked for extra light in the room but it didn’t help.

We spent a wonderful five days at this hotel, which is located next to Taksim Square. The entire staff is extremely nice, smiling, helpful and discreet. They gave us lots of useful advice about the city. We have been to many places but the cleanliness and fastidiousness of the hotel and restaurant, the attentiveness of the people is absolutely outstanding. We had excellent food in the restaurant. We...

It was nice staying at Occidental Takism Hotel, I definitely reccomened staying here if you are looking for a nice hotel to stay at in Istanbul. Very clean, good food and friendly staff. Baver, the Assistant General Manager, was very kind and respectful, he made us feel welcome and gave us recommendations of tourist spots to visit. Great experience!

It is not my first time and it will never be my last. I always enjoy my stay at Holiday inn Tuzla Bay! Awesome greeting, delicious breakfast, nice clean rooms and all other aspects are just great. Many thanks for the wonderful team for hospitality and special thanks to reception managers Mr. Kudret and Mr. Fatih, sales manager Ms. Beyza, and all the way to the great general manager Mr. Emrah! Till...

Not a tourist location but for business trips to this side of Istanbul and the local shipyards it is superb. Very friendly and helpful staff and it’s big enough but not too big. The terrace bars and restaurants looking over the water are excellent😊

Every time I come here, I know that I will be welcomed like a friend. Staff is just amazing. Food quality is great. Location is excellent. Atmosphere is always cozy.

Great hotel, beautiful location with exceptional service from all staff! Yakup is so great and helpful, he helped with organizing our taxi and bringing in our luggage. Kudret is a phenomenal front office person, truly the face clients need to see when checking in. His smile and friendliness is contagious. Breakfast is soo good, good variety of Turkish and Western foods with breathtaking views overlooking...

Great staff, friendly and helpful. Perfect location for working on the ships or shipyards. Nice view of the bay if your into tankers! Gym is also handy.

Very nice Hotel ! My recommendations! Reasonable good price. Clean rooms. Wonderful and attentive people working here ( thanks to Ms Ida and Mr Furkan in reception ). Very nice view for the water. Unfortunately I hadn’t a chance to try breakfast ask I had early check out . But I am sure it is nice . Close to Sabiha airport. 5 stars from 5.

Cousy hotel in Kadikoy, a bit far from the center , but it’s a quiet area, a metro station /bus is 7 min walk. Great value for money.

SPA in Holiday Inn in Kadikoy is something!!! Clean, Cozy, well equipped ☺️☺️☺️ But the best what i found there is massage therapist Sukara! She has magic hands and so kind heart. The job she does comes directly from the bottom of her heart

Hotel rooms are clean ,modern, and well taken care of. The food offered is fresh, clean and nicely cooked, they also take care of special needs. The best in the hotel is the SPA and the Hamam, deeply relaxing and gives a great refreshness. I did the "Dream of Istanbul" masaage and hamam, it was really great, I would do it again here if i visit Istanbul again.

I checked the reviews before booking for this hotel and I noticed that mostly people were mentioning the great hospitality of the staff of this hotel and how helpful they are. After staying at most hotels in and around this area, I would like to confirm the staffs professional services and thank everyone for the great stay and especially Buşra in the restaurant area for doing her best trying to help...

Not your regular Holiday Inn that you would see at US. Location of this hotel is strategically good as you are at the Asian side but very close to the bridge that would connect you to European side. Parking cars is problematic but thanks to Hotel staff, they will vale it for you in and out. Hotel was clean and staff was very attentive. Priced reasonably. Nothing to complain, definetly recommended...

I am super impressed by this hotel. First, concierge Ali who is repeatedly commended here, was welcoming. He helped me with my luggage, led me to my room, and explained everything in the room to me. This already felt like a very personalized service from a major hotel chain like the IHG. Room is huge, bed was super king size, there were 6 pillows on it and 2 more in the wardrobe. The TV was protected...

make a very nice breakfast and a pleasant landscape ... Good for u ;)

Bad service ..... like 2 star hotel

Location is Good Rooms are Small but clean Service is not satisfactory. Not very cooperative staff.

Top location in the downtown. One of the very few hotels offering accommodation of five persons in one room. + Small terrace. Delicious breakfast. It is hard to find a parking place in this area. Accept liras and euros also. Stay there at the end of October 2023 for 90€ per night for 2 adults with 3 children, breakfast included.

Great hotel at the excellent location, just short walk away from Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque. Rooms are clean and nicely decorated, very kind and helpful stuff, good breakfast...I highly recommend Sehir hotel😊

My stay at Şehir Hotel Old City in Istanbul from 09/10/23 to 17/10/23 was an exceptional experience. The highlight was the delicious breakfast, offering a variety of dishes and exceptional quality. The hotel itself was well-maintained, with clean and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff's warmth and hospitality, along with their helpful recommendations, added to the overall positive experience. The hotel...

Very good environment near to the city center and bosphorus tourist center. Breakfast is good turkish food. The staff all are very friendly and helpfull. Sure to come back if visit turkiye again 😊

My family and I stayed at Sehir end of July 2023 and everything was just perfect. Breakfast, rooms, service and ALL the staff are just perfect, everyone is always ready to help and smile!!! If in Istanbul very much recommend

We stayed at this hotel for six days with my wife and three kids until August 28, 2024. We had connected rooms and included breakfast. The staff and management were amazing. The hotel was very clean, and it was easy to get a taxi. Behind the hotel is a mall called Fisekhane, which is great for couples looking to have a good time. The breakfast was excellent with a lot of good choices

Hotel has very good sea view, pool, good breakfast. Card keys in lift and doors sometimes does not work, door lock for toilet also maybe malfunctioning. One room in 2nd floor was oversmoked, but hotel personnel changed to another one on 3rd floor - so room is very good. Whole personnel starting from reception to restaurant is very responsive, polite and good. Cleaner, Mr Savasbey was truly inspired...

Loved the place. No one can beat Novotel in hospitality. Better than my Hilton experience. I was late for breakfast one day and I didn’t knew the buffet breakfast time was untill 10am. I reached At 10:45. This is how my family was privately served. Other hotels would have softy said NO. The person taking care of us was Eray and his team. They were great in hospitality.

We loved our stay at Novotel Zeytinburnu. From the moment we arrived, the staff could not have been more helpful. From the front desk to the cleaners, everyone was very kind. We had breakfast included in our stay was varied and delicious. The facilities were great. We loved the pool and also, our son loved the play area between the restaurant and the foyer. We will definitely be back!

We stayed here for 9 days, the staff were always so helpful and accommodating, doing all they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible, particularly the bar and restaurant manager Ibrahim and reception staff member; Firat. The hotel was clean, the cleaners are very trustworthy and polite and the pool was always clean too. Highly recommended.

Eray, Nisa and all the front desk staff have been extremely helpful and so patient.The rooms are very lovely, clean and any support I could have asked were met with genuine and smiling people. Looking forward to coming back later this week.

Service was excellent, nice view, very good clean. And receptionist are very polite and friendly. Specially Guzel she is very nice person

We stayed in the hotel for 3 nights and it was a very good experience. Rooms are clean, service is perfect .. everything was as we needed to be! I do highly recommend it

Nice staff. Good breakfast. Make sure to get upper floor rooms to enjoy the view and avoid night shift noise from nearby clubs. The pool was good although the water was cold and when I told the guy he said it’s 28 centigrade degrees (which obviously wasn’t).

The rooms not that clean, although the hotel with a claim. Not all staff who says that speak English really well you will understand.

I had a really good experience, the staff are very understanding and accommodating. However, we were asked to pay for additional coffee - you only get two coffee satchels and no dairy milk ( they offer coffee mate). Nonetheless, even with this criticism - I would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time with the he family for 5 nights. Reception is welcoming and they promptly resolved any issues we had. The hotel is good. Rooms are sizable. The cleanliness is acceptable. The staff are helpful and kind. We had my son's birthday 🎈 which the breakfast team led by Mr Azim and Hüseyin organized perfectly for the cake. Would we come back to the hotel. Yes.

Everything was very good. The staff is very helpful and assisted in everything we asked for. They are very polite and good at speaking english. The location is great, close to the tram. It is by walking distance to many of the tourists spots, which is a big plus. Please not that the road is closed where the hotel is located, meaning you have to walk down a few meters to grab a taxi. All roads are a...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Radisson Hotel President Old Town, and I cannot express enough how wonderful my experience was. From the moment I arrived, the service was impeccable, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. One staff member, in particular, stood out – Ibrahim(Front desk wearing glass). His professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail were...

Stayed here for two nights prior to boarding a cruise. Pros: Great location, Terrace Restaurant- good food, good service, fantastic views of city, sitting outside with the sun setting was very nice. The staff did not speak English. Lots of stuff in the bathrooms. Rooftop pool is very nice. Other amenities are nice too. Cons - the Hotel feels old. It looks like the upgrades and remodeling were band...

Top quality and gluten free friendly. With our eleven year old daughter we have spend a very nice and comfortable weekend. Moreover, they have a good variety of gluten free options for brrakfast and dinner and the staff knows about the problem. Mr Muammer is very kind, speaks a very good Spanish and gives precise assistance for any issue. The hotel is very well located in the city centre. Thank you...

Overall decent, the look from our rooms personally ( we had two rooms ) was terrible. You could see some uncleaned roof and overall a very dirty alley. The hotel is near a somewhat busy street, so that would be good, but it's kind of tucked in an alley. On the other side of the hotel entrance, there are a bunch of small streets with a lot of small stores and way too much people. But besides the place...

Absolutely lovely hotel, very supportive and welcoming staff. Location is on a hill but don't let that put You off as it's central to every major tourist attraction in Istanbul. Rooftop panoramic restaurant, breathtaking and very reasonably priced with lovely food. Can't wait to stay again

We spent the best holidays in this hotel with our family. The unique view of the Bosphorus strait while having breakfast was really amazing. The variety of breakfast was great. The rooms were clean and the room facilities were excellent. Also, the pool and spa facilities are very nice after a walk in the city. The reception staff were very polite and friendly. Especially the smiling man who greeted...

Nice and welcoming hotel with a fantastic view from the rooftop restaurant. Building is new, rooms are comfortable enough, service is great. Location is perfect to explore the old city. Breakfast is good. The only disappointment is their coffee from the coffee machine (tastes like instant, do not recommend). Overall our experience here was pleasant.

Highly highly recommend Demiray. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and welcoming. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Istanbul. The views at breakfast are one of the best you will see in Istanbul, must view at night also.

I am currently staying at this hotel and it is FIRST CLASS. The staff and rooms are top notch. What I like most about this hotel is the food! The breakfast buffet is one of the best that I have been to ever and I've traveled the world. Everything is fresh the variety ( from omlets, to fruit, to cereal, to salad, hot food cold food) is fresh well prepared and the staff is all smiling and egear to help...

Great place to stay when you come to Istanbul! Kind and extremely helpful stuff always approaching with a smile on their face. Room very clean + we had cleaning service everyday. Typical turkish breakfast with a wide range of choices including live cooking. You can get to the centre within 20-30 minutes with a tram or a bus that is near the hotel. Highly recommended!

The hotel is far from the main attractions but it’s near the tramway station, we stayed for 10 nights and it was amazing, comfortable, quiet 🤫 which is very important to me, you can get a nap 😴 whenever you like because you won’t hear anything from the outside, the breakfast is great they have variety of food, the hotel is very clean and neat. Highly recommended 🥳

Very convenient hotel and lovely staff who are willing to help and support whenever you request anything. Also, rooms are very clean. I would recommend this place to anyone.

5 star hotel providing all the services you need and more. The breakfast was always dleicious but the best part of this holiday was the customer service. Amazing customer displayed by all staff members. Thank you for treating us like royalty. The ONLY issue was the location, so i had to check out early. I seriously hope Ibis re-evaluates the location to move it closer to the touristic areas.

Great Hotel if you are looking for clean and comfortable, but affordable place to stay, and don’t mind being a bit further away from the main attractions in the city center. The room was spacious, clean and equipped with everything we needed during our stay. Water and instant coffee and tea were provided by the room service daily. The breakfast was always fresh and delicious. Even as vegetarians...

Excellent service, clean rooms equipped with air condition, and very friendly staff that take care of all your needs.... Great breakfast selection and the location is very close to all historical and interesting locations making life easier to explore all the main attractions in Istanbul . I Highly recommend IT

Nice place to stay. One of my Best stay in IST

Super clean, modern and cozy rooms! The staff are super nice too! Short distance to Taxim square and is a walking distance to the Tram station. Would stay here again...

Great location, very kind staff, the rooms are very tidy.

Cozy and quiet. Very polite staff. Delicious breakfasts

I have stayed here 3 times now and every visit has been amazing, Atajan has been especially helpful, showing me how to navigate the subways and always making me feel welcome. As mentioned the proximity to the station is perfect!

During my 7-night holiday in Istanbul, I stayed at the Veyron Hotel and found the room to be clean and standard. However, I did not find any entertainment options available in the room. The TV provided was an old non-smart model and only offered free-to-air TV stations that were not in English. Had the TV been a smart model, I would have had access to popular streaming services like YouTube, Netflix...

Great hotel and it's location. In the walking distance located subway where you can easily get to the centre or airport. It is our second visit, this time we have ask to change our room due to some smoke in the room (windows were opened, someone must be smoking outside). There was no problem to get another room. Kind and helpful receptionist and restaurant staff. Want to tag polite and cheerful Atacan...

We were at the hotel for it’s SPA. And I can say for sure that it was amazing. We have been to many places but this one was the best for price/service. I would recommend to everyone. It was so calm, it is a little small but they take reservations according to that. The 2 women from Bali were so kind, special thanks to them.

The thing that makes this hotel stand out from other’s, is the staff that work there. I had a great time in Istanbul and staying here. I fell in love with the city. It’s magical. Thank you for helping make wonderful memories.

I recently stayed at this 4-star hotel and wanted to share my thoughts on the experience. Overall, the services provided were commendable, and the rooms were clean and well-maintained. The hotel staff exhibited a high level of helpfulness and friendliness, creating a positive atmosphere. The hotel boasts a restaurant with delicious food, offering a chance to indulge in authentic Turkish cuisine. If...
